Commodities Global Summit
Video on demand is now available
While some may suggest there has been a return to a normalised level of volatility, the commodities trading sector continues to operate in a rapidly evolving landscape shaped by geopolitical conflicts, supply chain disruptions and the ongoing energy transition. Amidst this volatile environment, traders have been forced to build resilience, embrace transformation and evolve in this constantly shifting global context. With increased competition in the market, technological advancements and new forces reshaping the global market - how can commodity traders continue to deliver stability amid disruption?
The FT’s Commodities Global Summit 2025 included three days of high-level content, curated and moderated by leading FT journalists. The agenda featured insightful interviews with CEOs from major trading houses, complemented by productive and meaningful networking opportunities. Discussions confronted the challenges and opportunities facing the sector across geopolitics, supply and demand, technology and innovation, finance and investment.
